Patterns of plant biomass partitioning are fundamental to estimates of primary productivity and ecosystem process rates. Allometric relationships between above‐ground plant …
Herbivory is a dominant feeding strategy among animals, yet herbivores are often protein limited. The gut microbiome is hypothesized to help maintain host protein balance by …
Understanding the complex and unpredictable ways ecosystems are changing and predicting the state of ecosystems and the services they will provide in the future requires …
Intraspecific variation plays a pivotal role in shaping ecological dynamics. As the dispersal of seeds of most woody plants is mediated by animals, individual variation within the animal …
Dietary specialisations are important determinants of ecological structure, particularly in species with high per‐capita trophic influence like marine apex predators. These species …
Determining how climate affects biotic interactions can improve understanding of drivers of context‐dependence and inform predictions of how interactions may influence plants under …

Availability of food resources is an important driver of survival. Populations must either relocate or adapt to persist in environments where food availability is changing. An optimal …
Foraging in uncertain environments requires balancing the risks associated with finding alternative resources against potential gains. In arid-land environments characterized by …
